Check out our unboxing photos and first impressions of the Asus Padfone after the break. The Asus Padfone is one of its kind -- it's a powerful 4.3-inch smartphone that transforms into a 10.1-inch tablet. While the handset itself is pretty thin, the enclosure of the tablet is a bit thick (thicker than the 1st-gen Asus Transformer) and feels heavy on one hand. So, there's actually 3 separate devices here -- the Padfone, the shell tablet and the keyboard dock. Each of the devices have their own separate battery and allows for one to charge the other when completely docked (i.e., keyboard will charge the tablet and the tablet charges the Padfone but not the other way around). Though looking somewhat awkward, it's actually a clever way to use the Padfone's cellular functions when it's docked into the tablet. The configuration of the Padfone is pretty good, especially the performance of the SnapDragon S4. Based on our estimate currency conversions, the Padfone sells for around Php25k in Taiwan, goes up to Php32k with the tablet and stylus, then right up to about Php40k with the tablet, stylus and keyboard dock.
